Just caught this band last night as part of a 4 band show. The CD captures their sound which is complex and very compelling. The rythem section is one of the all time best and tightest I've seen. Buy the CD and watch for these guys playing in your town.

Days Away's "Mapping An Invisible World" is a very good indie rock album with a couple flaws. Like a lot of other similar albums, it's a bit cheesy and a guilty pleasure (the singer isn't that likable I would argue). The lyrics aren't really that interesting either. However, they definitely know how to create some very catchy songs. The musicianship verges on great, and it's usually fun to listen to. I don't think that it's for everyone, but indie rock fans might like this. "Gods & Mars" definitely gives it some greater appeal, though. That track alone bumps it to a "4.5" from a "4". Overall I think I would recommend this.

Highlights include:
"Gods & Mars"
the rest are good, too, but that is the best one here

I remember being introduced to Days Away in 2003 at one of Straylight Run's first shows in NYC. Their old ep/demos were very much indie/pop-punk, but what grabbed me was there musicianship live. The rythm was very tight and resonated well with the melody.On Mapping... the musicianship came out a lot more, thanks to their move to a much better Indie label (Fueled by Ramen) then they had ever been apart of. This release is probably more for the indie/alt fans, but pop-punk fans should give it a chance. (sounds like Sunny Day Real Estate, Death Cab for Cutie, and even a hint of the Beach Boys)
